Wow, this past week flew by didn’t it? I can’t believe it’s already Saturday. Today the family and I are attending the Runnin’ O’ the Green and the Bellingham St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It’s a great event full of music, good food and activities for the kids; I’m hoping for no rain. If you’re looking for a little St. Patrick’s Day crafting inspiration, check out this blog post. It’s full of green and gold ideas. Then, check out my favorite pins, tweets and ‘grams below!

I have been obsessed with the Circling Taiwan Swirl recently. The swirl below was made with Green Chrome Oxide, Apple Moss Mica and a mixture of Electric Bubble Gum Colorant and Merlot Sparkle Mica. It’s scented with a fragrance oil we are considering introducing to our line. Each fragrance oil is tested thoroughly to make sure it performs well in cold process soap before we bring it in.
